Twenty-four months of drug court probation was meted out to a Holmes Beach woman charged with possessing cocaine, driving under the influence and refusing to submit to a sobriety test after a traffic stop.
Daniella Mannino, 37, pleaded no contest on all counts in July.
On Aug. 25, 12th Circuit Judge Deno Economou withheld adjudication on the felony drug count pending her successful probation, including random urinalyses and drug and alcohol evaluations. He also sentenced Mannino to 100 hours of public service.
Economou found Mannino guilty on two misdemeanor counts, a DUI with a prior conviction and refusing to submit to testing.
As part of her sentence for impaired driving, her vehicle will be impounded for 10 days and an alcohol-test ignition device will be installed. Mannino also loses her driver’s license for one year.
The Florida Highway Patrol stopped Mannino Dec. 26, 2014, at U.S. Route 301 and University Parkway, weaving within a lane and making an improperly wide U-turn at the intersection in Sarasota.
